77datsun280

I apologize for the image size I am a member only as of today and I dont recall what the image rules are. If they are too big I apologize and will try to fix it next time.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I will probably spend the minimum that I can. Well, I bought the car on Friday for $100 with the title. It has rust in the floor pans, the rear driver's side quarter, and in a couple of other little bubble places. Over all, it was a killer deal for $100 it's not in too bad of shape. I want the price basically just to get the motor/tranny into the car running and driving reliably. The rest I can account for. The LS1 price I know will depend on what shape it is in and where I get it from. I want to find the cheapest motor and tranny that I can hopefully around $1500 for both and the computer. Right now it has the L28 and 4spd pulled out and it is stripped but I have all the parts. It is ready for the body work to be done, which my father and I will be doing on our own for experience and to save cash. Then I have an 8.8" rearend ready for install from an 06 Mustang GT which was going to go into my 07' 4.0L Mustang but I have decided that I will try to get it customized to fit into the 280. Not sure how this will work yet..will get it narrowed and tub out the rear end and get the rear suspension custom done. I want this car to just be something to have fun in,get some track time in on the weekends, learn on and perfect over time. I want to put an LS1 in, but I do not have the money right now and I am just trying to see what I will be in for as far as saving up for the swap. I would probably do a painless wiring system with an LS1/T56 that I find maybe from a wrecked car or junkyard. I have been surfing hybridz.org a lot since I got it and I have found out some very helpful information. Here are pictures of my car as it sits right now. It is a project definately, but it is also very buildable and shouldnt take too much to get it back on the road. Thanks guys

Hi may I ask how much the JCI kit costs for the LS1? I have a 77' 280 and I really want to do an LS1 but I need to know how much this kit is in order to calculate my budget
